Reaching the postmenopausal age

[renard_ruse]

My lady friend is going to be 43 in November. As I understand it the "change" could kick in at any time.

I don't really even know what this means specifically other than she can't get preggers.

She hasn't said anything. May still be a few years off, probably is. It just makes me feel old thinking about it. I'm 50 this year. I feel and look young but my body hurts from too much yard work sometimes.

I am going to be 51. No change has kicked in for me. Your friend may have awhile to go.

"The change" is not a light switch. Women do not begin menstruation suddenly and fully, nor we do stop menstruating all at once either. Perimenopause - the time before and around menopause - begins up to a decade prior to menopause, which takes another few years, before a woman is postmenopausal. Given how young your lady friend is, she may just be entering perimenopause. During this "before" time, her period will become less regular. Some women report difficulty sleeping, dry skin, tender breasts, and heightened emotions. As hormonal levels decrease, fertility will cease.

At 50, you are likely experiencing male menopause, or andropause. Symptoms of andropause include:

• low energy
• depression or sadness
• decreased motivation
• lowered self-confidence
• difficulty concentrating
• insomnia or difficulty sleeping
• increased body fat
• reduced muscle mass and feelings of physical weakness
• gynecomastia, or development of breasts
• decreased bone density
• erectile dysfunction
• reduced libido
• infertility

Why do impending changes in a younger woman's body make you feel old, instead of the actual symptoms of your own advancing age?

Modern medicine can make life more comfortable. I'm not yet perimenopausal, and I don't take any medication, but I will talk to my doctor should the need arise. I've found that more sleep, more water, less alcohol, and a better, more plant-based diet seem to be helping immensely thus far, as annoying as that sounds.

Do you squirt during orgasm as in the day?

Do you squirt during orgasm as in the day?

Meaning, do I squirt on the same day I orgasm? Are there people who separate the two?
